Beautiful Things

 

 

 

 

 

 

Floral Heirloom

One of my Althea's is blooming. I so love this tree. The other is due to bloom anytime now. They're just as gorgeous as the one that Mom had when I was a child.

 

 

Drive By Shooting

Everyday I drive by these beautiful flowers, so today I stopped and did a little drive by shooting... Camera shooting that is. Aren't they gorgeous!

 

 

Let There Be Light

Power outage in my area, so I'm sitting here reading by the lantern. How apropos since it's an Amish book!

Southern Winter

This is how we do January in the South...however,  when everyone else is experiencing cool Fall weather later in the year and we're still sweltering, I admit I will probably be jealous.

Bloom Where Your Planted

Welcome to winter time in the South.

 

  

Sunday Sparkle

I actually received this in May but wanted to share it with you today. It was definitely unexpected.

Winter in Texas....blooming Lavender.

Orchid

My sweetie brought me this beautiful orchid yesterday. Isn't it lovely!

Hong Kong Market

A few times a year I like to take a visit to the Hong Kong Market...and today was one of those days. No matter how many times I visit, there are always new things to explore. 

If you need rice...of any kind...they certainly have it!

I love looking at the dinnerware and serve ware....

always my favorite spot in the store.

Indian Bittermelon....no idea what it taste like or how you cook it 

but this is on my list of things to learn about. 

The bumpiness of it makes it so beautiful!

Jackfruit anyone!?!

Every kind of noodle you can think of...it's here!

The mixture of all the seasonings next to each other 

make this aisle one of the most aromatic spots in the whole place!

Ramen, Udon...you name it....that's alot of soup!

Ok, this is the best place to get a Banh Mi sandwich. 

I can't make a trip here without picking up a few.

 

A few goodies I picked up during my shopping trip....

 

 I love my bamboo...it's so pretty.

Of course I had to get my Banh Mi...

this one is the meatball

 And this is the special mix...
